Xabi Alonso:

"The message is that we want to share that belief that good things will come if we are together and we create this strength, this power that the club has. It has to come from us to bring this energy, but together we can achieve great things..."

Xabi Alonso:

"We know that success is a consequence of good work, of quality decisions, of the good culture that we want to build. That’s the beauty of such a complex but nice process with so many people involved..."

Xabi Alonso:

"Always getting the best out of everyone, and everyone is committed with the last goal that is being the best we can and giving our best. If we all share, day by day, that feeling, we can be optimistic about the future..."

Xabi Alonso:

"Settled in. Good vibes and I am looking forward to it."

Xabi Alonso:

"It feels great, but it’s a big honour. To be part of this great club that is one of the best in the world, with great success in the last decades. It’s a big privilege to be a part of and now it’s looking forward to the challenge."

Xabi Alonso:

"The timings are always important. It came in the right timing for all the parts. Believing that the potential and the opportunity to come to this club was the right one..."

Xabi Alonso:

"The potential of the team and the squad made me very excited to find a squad to work with, to create a football idea and to bring excitement to the stadium and to connect with the fans and they really like what we’re doing."

Xabi Alonso:

"It’s brilliant. The setting, it’s wonderful. The standards of the club are the highest quality. The structure is great, but you need to give soul. You need to give purpose. You need to bring a good work, good energy, and positiveness, so that we are in a nice place to work. We have all the ingredients for that."

Xabi Alonso:

"Looking forward to it. Tomorrow I will be with the guys. And you start creating this connection because this is all about the human connection for them to feel good. And when you feel good, normally you perform good."
